APP and PPA

Less analysis here, more opinion today.

We’ve witnessed the success of Anna Bright over the past few weeks on the APP circuit (click here).

We see interesting dynamics between the two professional tours. On the one hand, the PPA largely has the best players locked-up. On the other hand, if the PPA has the best players locked-up, it’s hard to win there, causing developing players to play APP tournaments. You end up with APP being almost a “feeder league” for the PPA. Be it JW Johnson / Jorja Johnson / Vivienne David / Dylan Frazier … and others … you see how the two leagues can sidestep each other while serving a unique purpose.
